2-4-2

The reason it is referred to as a 2-4-2 as opposed to a 2-5-1 or 4-3-1 is to encourage the 10 to try and stay at the highest point of the midfield and support and cooperate the 9 where possible.

Vertical Layers

Provides vertical layers which support us to progress the ball up the pitch particularly through combination play and allowing us to stay connected vertically and laterally in possession. As players get older, this is where we start to incorporate 'playing through the thirds' with sets to players facing forwards as well as third man runs.
